Everything in nature has a geometric pattern—from the tiger's stripes and spirals in flowers to the unique fingerprints of ...

"Because our brains are so fine tuned to detect symmetry, is it possible that both the tools that we use to determine the laws of nature and indeed our theories themselves have symmetry in them ...

From mesmerizing symmetry of spiraling sunflower seeds to mirror-like sides of the human body, patterns dominate nature. Aesthetic appeal aside, what advantage does repetition afford?

Tiny strains in a crystal can cause electrons to behave in a surprising way that closely resembles a highly sought-after ...

By Kate Golembiewski Symmetry runs rampant in nature. It’s present wherever mirror images are repeated, like in the right and left halves of elephants or butterflies, or in the repeating ...

On a larger scale, this symmetry in nature can be viewed as we track hurricanes from an aerial view or when we see snapshots of wandering galaxies in the universe. This sensation is no coincidence.

Symmetry abounds in nature, often in its most beautiful forms. A perfect snowflake, a blooming sunflower, a light-harvesting complex from a bacterium—they all exhibit striking symmetry ...
